Why would a plucky young woman descend into the bowels of a sinking ship knowing that she would almost certainly die there? Why did a family remain on their farm, tending crops while suffering four long years of deadly artillery shelling? How did a former fishing trawler sink one of Hitler’s deadliest U-boats, and who were the two Australian nurses who protected wounded patients with their own bodies while experiencing a savage machine-gun attack? Why did a young naval apprentice keep rowing when his hands had been so badly burned, they were literally glued to his oar? And who were the two selfless ‘Dad’s Army’ soldiers who miraculously saved the lives of hundreds of their comrades even when it meant sacrificing their own? These and many other fascinating questions are answered in one of the most remarkable books of gallantry, fortitude and selfsacrifice you will ever read. Quiet Courage: Forgotten Heroes of World War Two is a book about thoughtful, intelligent actions and above all, an enviable capacity for bravery.

This book was released on 2011-09-07. A Quiet Courage available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Fun-loving though shy at times, Shirley McCallum lived her horses but tragedy struck when, at age 22, she was diagnosed with Hodgkins disease. Although most people now survive this type of cancer, Shirley and her family found themselves facing a battle against overwhelming odds. Shirley was a lively, intelligent and beautiful girl with an impish sense of humour who loved her horses. We admired the way she coped with her illness, but until we read this book, we had no idea the full extent of her strength over the years of suffering. Her personality shines throughout the book, along with those of her parents. Although the book has focused on mainly Shirleys illness, her father knows that she would like to be remembered as the bubbly young blonde charging about on her pony over the hills of Lindean, with her favorite collie dog running after her. Her family remembers her this way, but they cannot forget the difficult years during which she fought her illness with such bravery. This book is a lasting testament to Shirleys courage, and now the greatest reward would be that someone who is fighting a similar battle will be inspired by her story.

These are revealing, compelling stories about the exceptional courage of everyday heroes.

The Nazis, in a last desperate attempt to destroy Hungarian Jewry, have sent Adolf Eichmann to round up as many Jews as possible for the gas chambers of Auschwitz. It is a time of chaos and terror. Two Swedish diplomats with their colleagues in the Swedish legation decide that they must act to save as many as possible. One of them, Raoul Wallenberg, was to vanish after the war into Soviet Russia. His story has often been told. The other, Per Anger, was to be his partner in the great rescue effort. This is Per's story, and it once again proves the great truth that "one man can make a difference." Per Anger's determination and heroism were to be repeated twelve years later, in 1956, when he came to the aid of Hungarians fleeing another oppressor - Soviet communism.
